A Best Friend - Two Ways

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  I love this stamp from Technique Junkies called A Best Friend.  This is a single stamp so the flower and the sentiment are together as one stamp.  I inked this up with a permanent black ink and stamped it on white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I colored the flowers with Copic markers and brushed the edges of the white cardstock with some soft brown ink.  

If you wanted to try something different, mask off the words and stamp the flower by itself.  Then clean the stamp, mask off the flower, and stamp the words over the previously stamped flower.  That's what I did on this blue floral card below.  

If you're really brave, you could cut the two images apart, but I'm not that brave.  LOL!  By masking off one side or the other, I can retain the original stamp but have the flexibility to just stamp the flowers  or the sentiment.  I think I might need to buy another A Best Friend stamp just so I can cut it apart.  :-)

At the River #techniquejunkies

 Hello! Tracy Shultz, the Hopeful Crafter, here today with a card featuring the new Technique Junkies "At the River" stamp: https://techniquejunkies.com/at-the-river/ and the Thank You sentiment from the previously "Four Little Sentiments" stamps: https://techniquejunkies.com/four-little-sentiments/   Save 10% off your Technique Junkies order using my code: TJ10Tracy

To create my card,  I stamped the image with Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. I then colored the image using Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I trimmed the image using scissors. I cut a piece of turquoise cardstock to 4" x 5.25" and stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment using clear embossing powder. I embossed the cardstock using an waves embossing folder from my stash. I adhered the image using foam tape and then added a few clear gems. I adhered the panel to a navy blue card base size 4.25" x 5.5" 

A close up photo of my card panel. The sentiment was heat embossed first. I then embossed the paper using a waves embossing folder from my stash. 

Blood Pressure

  Hi!

If you follow my blog at all, you know I love summer.  I love everything about it, but my absolute favorite thing is listen to the waves crash into the beach.  I'm so lucky to live near the water.   

To create this card, I did a little stamp surgery to cut the sentiment away from the starfish/seaweed.  I used the omitting technique to create a multi colored starfish to compliment my sentiment.  I love the pop of orange with the bright blue

A Tropical Friendship

Good morning! Pam here today bringing you the beautiful Tropical Corners, Set of 2 to you with the previously released sentiment from Lavender Friendship Sentiments, Set of 4.

There are so many ways to use this set.  For this card, I only stamped one corner on kraft card stock. I sometimes forget using kraft but I think it makes for lovely creations. I matted it with black and mounted on a white base. The image was colored in with my Zig brush markers. Such a quick and easy card to create to send off to a wonderful friend!

Bouquet for you

Do you remember that bouquet of dandelions

you would pick for your Mum or perhaps

some little one has given you ..

Ya, this new stamp just reminded me

of simpler times

 The dandelion was stamped then I did a fussy cut out of the leaves

and flowers to layer on top of the original

Masked it off to splat some ink around.

bit of raffia ribbon to tie that bouquet

You can see how I layered it here

Drifting in a Rowboat

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting and today I'm sharing this sweet scenic card that I created with Technique Junkies stamps.  I stamped the At The River with a black dye ink and then colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment, from the My Dear Friend set, is stamped with black ink at the bottom.

I love this sweet little scene.  Those flowers really pop against the pale blue of the river and those sweet cattails breaking out of the circle just captured my heart.  Can you just see yourself sitting in that little rowboat drifting along, enjoying the peace and quiet?
